5 costly editorial cartoons about the national debt


This political cartoon is set on a scenic overlook at the Grand Canyon where visitors can look down and see the national debt. A family with a mother, father, and two children look down at a canyon labeled $36.2 trillion hole. The U.S. Capital building is deep in the canyon with an arrow that reads, “More tax cuts.” The mother says, “Wow! The U.S. Congress looks so tiny and insignificant from up here!”
